Your Night On The Town

(Special)-Before a night on the town, what could be better than a day on the beach? Especially if you have a chance to spot some stars as well as taking in some sun.

Some glamorous shorelines attract some of the world’s A-list stars.

Cheapflights.com has done the research to determine Top Ten Celebrity Beaches. Here are five of them.

Maldives: Although Beyoncé and Jay-Z seem to vacation everywhere, the hip-hop royalty couple jets to the beachside huts of the Maldives on the Indian Ocean as well. The beaches here are set around a series of ancient coral reefs that expanded along the sides of prehistoric volcanoes, which make for astounding snorkelling and diving in the warm water lagoons. Other celebs who love this spot are Kate Moss, Eva Longoria, Jude Law and Penelope Cruz.

South Beach, Miami: The smooth Latin rhythm of South Beach, Miami, does something to its guests - or at least Jennifer Lopez and Shakira seem to think so. Ocean Drive runs along the Atlantic, where the rich and famous moor their yachts and play on the sand. A-listers especially flock to The Setai, a luxury accommodation where gods and goddesses of entertainment can lounge in the three azure pools, relax in the spa and jet-ski in the rolling blue waves.

Bondi Beach, Sydney: From surfing to snorkelling to simply tanning on the shore like Paris Hilton, Bondi Beach has it all. The best part of Bondi is how many activities surround it, so while you’re sailing under the Harbour Bridge or checking out the Coogee cliffs, keep an eye out for celebs like Nicole Richie and Hugh Jackman, who have been known to come here and kick back.

Lake Como, Italy: It’s not technically the point where the sand meets the water that attracts the celebrities, rather it’s the scenic area that surrounds the water. Menaggio and Tremezzo boast beautiful lakeside beaches on Lake Como, but the real highlights are the outdoorsy activities like boating, horseback riding and paragliding. Hey, if George Clooney likes it, we’re not arguing.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: Cabo has always been a classic respite for big wigs, especially due to its close proximity to Los Angeles. Legends like John Wayne and Ernest Hemingway vacationed here back in the day, and now stars like Dustin Hoffman relax by the Sea of Cortez. Hit the beach here for parasailing, snorkelling, kite sailing and diving.

For the rest of the details on the list of celeb beaches which also includes: Anguilla; St. Tropez, France; Mallorca, Spain; Turtle Island, Fiji and Bora Bora, French Polynesia, visit http://news.cheapflights.com/2010/06/top-10-celebrity-beaches.

Mother’s Day is May 9. So where would be the ultimate place to take Mom for a night on the town?  The travel search site Skyscanner offers the following suggestion:

Mombasa – with the word mom in its name, we can’t think of anywhere better to take your dear mama than this exotic Kenyan destination! Famed for its incredible wildlife, beautiful beaches and intriguing culture, there is something for everyone here.

Sierra Madre, California – Literally meaning “mother mountain range” in Spanish, this pretty little community outside of Los Angeles has the same gorgeous weather as its larger neighbour and is, of course, near the mountains that share its name.

Stockholm – Mamma Mia, here we go again! Fly mom to the home of Abba, the group responsible for that infamously catchy chart-topping hit that was to provide the inspiration for the west end musical and, more recently, the cinematic hit of the same name. Help her rediscover her inner disco-diva while scoping out the Stockholm Music Museum.

Mamaroneck, New York – Mamma will love the town of Mamaroneck: not only for its fitting name, but also for its fascinating history (while Dad may enjoy the championship golf course here). Just a short ride into New York, Mamaroneck was home to Matt Dillon as he grew up – but don’t worry, you don’t need a movie star’s bank balance to enjoy yourself here.

Macedonia – Find yourself a cheap airfare to Europe and head to Skopje, Macedonia’s largest city, capital, and birthplace of one of the world’s most cherished moms: Mother Theresa. Get inspired by visiting the monument dedicated to her memory.
